ZC: MIDI playback sometimes hangs after a loop [655]

Did anybody have this problem?

MIDI playback sometimes get stuck after a loop. Can the developers take care of this, or it is occuring on my side only?

The only way to get out of this MIDI freeze is click the mouse for the menus and click again to return to the game. Would never have to do this again until the issue is resolved.

To get the chance, create a test quest, load it in ZC and play, then listen the MIDI. Wait as many loops until you hear a hang.

Please. I need beta-testers that experienced that problem. If it is only my computer, then it may go into bugs in limbo.

Occured in 704! And it also occured in beta 10b (still using for old quests mostly)

Well, I believe it is only occuring on my side and nobody else. Developers, I may be able to give my computer's specifications, but I not going to do this unless you ask for the specifications. It might be operating system or hardware.

I found the possible cause. It occurs if you have the game on pause (F3) or while advancing frames (F4). Developers/beta-testers, try this out and confirm. Keep on trying long enough.

It happens with certain MIDI's to me, too. On build 726. Can't figure out what causes it, though. I know I didn't pause the game, though.
